Hey everyone, I’m Masaki Yamanaka from PlatinumGames! I worked on The Wonderful 101 as a game designer, focusing mainly on enemies and bosses. In today’s post, I'll focus on the boss battles.
When I think about boss battles, I always have three goals I want to achieve. First, I want to make each boss battle a playground full of freedom, unrestricted by the normal limitations of regular stages. Second, I want to make it so that the player can use the new weapons, skills, or actions they gained leading up to the battle on the boss in a way that feels good. Finally, I want to make sure the boss battle has some excitement and surprises.
